Fast and friendly service, was in and out without an appointment with no issue.

Ugh, the dreaded DMV renewal notice with a smog cert required. Let's face it, smog stations are a dime a dozen and they all charge different prices. However, I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. So, it was nice to discover Vallejo Smog through my Valupack mailers offering a decent coupon. Star certified is what was required and Star certified is what I got. Upon arrival, I was met with a fast & friendly greeting from Mike. They weren't busy at the time, so I was literally in and out within 10 minutes! This must be a new record. The only reason they didn't receive 5 stars from me is because they refused to honor any other competitor's coupons. I must be getting older, when the hell did smog tests start costing $85.00? Thankfully, I was able to negotiate a fair price and received the utmost professional service. It's nice to know in this day & age that the dying "professional customer service" motto is alive & well at Vallejo Smog. Thanks guys for help making the process a little less painful. read more

I can not give them 5 Stars Because no business is perfect and many true yelpers ignore a 5 star review. I needed a smog check, I was tired of my usual shop since they change prices every time I go there and have no good excuse why. I went to yelp and found the shop that had the most reviews. I also seen that with over 68 reviews, they still have a top rating. I called to see if I needed an appointment and a guy named Mike answered very politely and said they have several technicians and I could drop by any time and it should only take about 20 min. For a Sunday I thought that was good and with the good yelp review I decided to go on over. When you get there, tell them you found them on Yelp so they give you the $30 off, which honestly just brings the price right around where the competitors are (they mainly do that to see where the lead came from) When I arrived a technician named Rich came out and greeted me immediately. A hand shake, can you believe it, old school customer service, and he looked like a technician, not a salesman. I told him I needed a smog, he filled out the service tag right there by my car and told me it was $55 which is average to what every shop charges. My wife and I took off in our other car to get a coffee while he was working on the car. About 10 min later he called me up and told me everything passed except the gas cap was bad. This is a Test Only Station, they do not have to tell you nor offer to throw one in. Most places tell you to come back and retest, so I was impressed. He said I could swing by the auto parts store and grab one and he would throw it on and retest it real quick for no extra charge, or for $10 he would put on one of his. I told him to go ahead and put it on, considering last time I told my old shop to put on a gas cap they charged me $25, I thought $10 for a $6 cap was not bad at all, and it saves me the trip. My wife and I drove back right after he called with our coffees, and when we got there our car was parked and ready to go. Total amount of time all this took was 20 min. Wow, he wasn't kidding. I told him I was astonished by the service and I would write him a review. I was a bit concerned when he mentioned many people find him on Yelp, but they do not go back and give a review even though they say they love the service and would write one. So remember my fellow Yelpers, if you use Yelp to find something, it is your duty to write a review, good or bad. Otherwise in my opinion you do not deserve to use Yelp. Well that was my experience with Vallejo Smog, I'm an official customer now for all my vehicles, and I would recommend them to anyone. They are fair priced, perfect customer service, and a nice and clean shop too. Money well spent. read more

I've got my smog test done here multiple times and brought my gf's car the other day. I always go to Vallejo Smog Test because the owner & receptionist always provide excellent customer service. Every visit they take care of me as a valued customer. Highly recommend you visit for your next smog test! read more

I didn't know if you had to make an appt, so I called and they said its ok to come by. Got there by 445 right before closing and the process was fast and easy. Very helpful service and very friendly. If your in Vallejo I recommend this smog test center over all competitors.. read more

Vallejo Smog - They treated my 1992 525i w/ much respect. Appreciate it guys, keep up the great work! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vallejo, California

I read these reviews and have to agree with everything. I was greeted immediately before I even walked in. I was in & out in 5 minutes. I sat down, sent ONE text and was done! $55 including the $30 off coupon. They even have the option to pay your registration fee and get your tags on the spot for an additional $17.95! If i didn't have to go to the dmv to renew my license, i would've skipped the dmv visit in a heartbeat! Very convenient. I'd highly recommend Vallejo Smog test to anyone. read more

Amazing and fast service. Definitely recommending for all of my family and friends. Everyone was so nice and I got $30 off! read more

This is the best smog place I've been to in Vallejo service was great the office is very nice. The smog tech are very good and Ed was great

This is the only place we bring our cars to for Smog and they have always been top notch and expeditious in their service.

Seriously - as good as it gets. These guys are fast, efficient and seriously try to help the customer. I did'nt pass the first time - crushed vacuum hose - these guys told me what was wrong, how to fix it and directed me up to AAA to get the registration done as fast as humanly possible. You can bet i'll be directing folks over to you. ** BONUS ** they brought up the yelp discount (i had forgotten) and whatever else they could think of to help me save money. Honest, nice dudes. read more

I was instantly greeted and assisted when i entered the business. During my wait it was clear that the employees took customer service seriously and maintained a very family friendly environment . The service time was also half the time or more than I was initially told so I was very happy to check this off my to do list so quickly. I will return for future Smog needs in the future without question. I will also bring the coupon code that in my rush to get this done I did not research. read more

Awesome people straight up!!! I went in today got my smog done in 15 mins, I could have mentioned yelp to get discount but with what is going on it would be the worst cheapest thing to do to our businesses, I went there because of a yelp review where he called out a lying customer about a catalytic converter, people should not hide behind yelp and lie about honest people!!! I had my sons car done here, a stick shift jaguar a while ago, these people are decent responsible, he cleaned my keys and my credit card with disinfectant before and after, what a responsible thing to do. Wish I could smog every month from them but we need it every other year! Keep up the excellent job. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now. The staff is always friendly. Quick service in and out in 10 minutes. This visit, I used the YELP discount and saved $30 off my SMOG. Thanks Kurt & Ed. Definitely recommend to family and friends. read more

Vallejo Smog Test was a most pleasant experience. The people there are so wonderful and personable. As soon as we got out of the car we were welcomed with such hospitality. No time was wasted in helping us. The office itself had an amazing aroma and a charming facility. We were in and out in minutes! I am so astonished by their efforts here and I highly recommend. read more

Amaizing service and i was in and out in less then 15 minutes if youre getting a smog in vallejo i highly recommend this place

I read the comments by others thinking people were exaggerating. From the moment I parked to the time I left, the service was incredible. No bull, no games, I was told it would take 15 minutes and guess what, it did. I have become a cynic, I don't expect good service. When I happen across good service, I make a point of telling whomever I can, especially the person providing the service. You will not be disappointed! Good pictures of big fish too! read more

It's that time again. There's a reason I come here. They get the job done. Honest and friendly. No BS service.

Fast and easy ... I was in and out in about 12 minutes. $60.00 to smog a Mazda 3 is a bit more than I'm used to spending, but these guys are fast and courteous, their shop is clean, and the waiting room pleasant with no TV blaring like in some other places. Thanks for making this as painless as possible! I have three other cars which I will be bringing here from now on. read more

Youtube review of Vallejo Smog, Check engine light problem and receipts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUsmgg4DFKg Went here twice, mentioned Yelp discount, but was given two different prices both times. After the second smog check was informed of the retest price if you failed which wasn't mentioned the first time. When we asked about the price difference they told me I had an Exotic car.. Smog test shouldn't matter between say a Honda and a Ferrari, boo.. for inconsistent pricing. Tech also neglected to tighten down the gas cap, which set off the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. Office guy also dug through our car to get smog paperwork without permission. read more

This is my regular place for smog checks. They are quick and friendly. Usually in and out under 30 minutes or less.

I found them on yelp, from the moment I stepped out of my car everyone was super friendly. The women in side the office was very polite and funny. The wait was very short it took 10 minutes for my smog check. I am definitely come back here for all my smog checks read more

Great service. In and out in a jiffy. On a SATURDAY, even. Highly recommend it. Comfortable waiting room too. Been here twice now and I have zero complaints. read more

Vallejo Smog - What is this, a waiting room for ants?! But no, seriously, very comfortable place. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vallejo, California

In and out in 15 minutes this morning. After dealing with many smog places who said that they couldn't smog my car (2006 V6 Saturn Vue), this place did it with no issues! Staff was super nice, and I couldn't be happier! Don't waste your time with a dealership when you can take your car here. I will definitely be bringing my car back for every smog, and tell my friends to bring all their cars there. The only thing is, the building is set back a little, so keep your eyes open driving by, i missed it the 1st time. Mention you saw them on Yelp, and they give you a great discount. read more

They helped me get my 97 Avalon in and out! Big Londa (my avalon) Passed with flying colors. the service was awesome. thanks guys!

I've been using Vallejo smog for over 10 years. Mike has been terrific every time. Today I dropped in without an appointment and they took me right in. I always recommend Vallejo Smog to my family and friends. read more

Went in for a smog, was helped as soon as I pulled up and out within 15 mins. I also mentioned yelp and got a discount. Very polite people and when asking questions unrelated to the smog, worker was happy to answer and try to help. Highly recommend this place for anyones smog, A1 service. read more

The guy who was working here was awesome. I thought I could do the DMV required Smog Check for like $25 at Midas but looks like I needed the TEST ONLY one, which I don't really understand. I was surprised that it would actually be like $90. Cruds. But what am i gonna do, I can't not do it. They referred me to this place just a little further down the street and gave me $10 off coupon so i brought it in, but the guy for some reason gave me $20 off, which was really cool. The whole process took like 15-20 mins. The waiting area was small and cozy with a small coffee table stacked with dozens of magazines for you to read while you wait. Good customer service, fast service, not sure what else you can ask for from a smog check. read more

One of the workers walked out of the building and greeted me right when I stepped out of my car. He even offered me free coffee which was inside the building...I desperately needed it...since it was 10 AM on a Saturday morning. I would definitely go back for the service...and will be referring whoever needs a good ol' smog. ;) read more

I came back again. Was helped by Richard and Robert(?). Mike was out on vacation. As everybody has said -- mention yelp, let them know you found them on yelp for the $30 off. Nothing has changed. Coffee, newspaper and wifi in the waiting room. It is ALWAYS nice to come back and have the great service even with different techs! Will be back again! read more

Went in at 4pm today to get a smog test for my 1993 Honda Civic and was out in about 20 mins. I was helped by Michael and will continue to keep coming back. You can't beat fast and friendly service and these guys know their stuff. Thanks Michael! read more

I've brought two trucks to this location and would highly recommend this business. Wait time is minimal and the owner is very personable. The waiting area is very bare, but clean with a few seats and a table. Wi-Fi connection was a very pleasant surprise and nice to have while passing the time. The articles on the wall about Mike and/or his wife catching some crazy, large fish are good reading. read more

Saw a great coupon for this place and it was the best price. First driving up you wouldn't think this place is lying about just being smog test only. They were fast as hell, faster than even how long they estimated, and were damn friendly to boot! Need a smog test, go here first! read more

If you use Yelp discount, it's the same price or slightly less than other shops. It's clean, they were quick and the guy was very friendly. And they had WiFi. Getting a smog test isn't something I look forward to but i won't dread it anymore now that I've found this shop. read more

Brought my troubled 96 Miata in. I needed two visits to get a pass, both times I was treated well. Mike was professional, thorough and fair. I was given great advice after my initial fail, and there is a discounted rate for a retest. I would definitely recommend this shop and will return. read more

Friendly atmosphere and very fast. Good service all around so I definitely recommend this spot for convenient service.

Scheduled appointment same day, although not required. I didn't have to wait no more than five minutes. I completed service, in less than thirty minutes. Staff, was very pleasant. Would recommend their business. read more

In and out in about 15 minutes even though there was someone in front of me, which was awesome as you never really know what to expect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Got a nice discount by checking in on Yelp. read more

I always come here to get my cars smoged, in and out within 30 minutes even without an appointment! The waiting area is nice and comfortable but you don't even get to enjoy it because they get their job done quick! Great service as always. read more

"Ugg" is the only appropriate response to the note in your DMV renewal that you need a smog test. I immediately picture going to some place with my car, getting the test, and being told, "Oh, it needs this whatsit to fixit and pass the test. Cost ya $250 plus another $100 for the test." Clearly I don't know much about cars or how they work or how mechanics talk, but you know the feeling. That is why you go to a place that only does smog tests. Only. They don't do the repairs. It is just pass or fail. Thankfully there is a business in Vallejo simply titled Vallejo Smog Test Only Center. No bones about it. The best thing is that it is a really nice professional place. We didn't have an appointment but the wait was very minimal and comfortable. And the owner-operator guy couldn't have been friendlier. This place is so good, I really can't believe that I'm the first to review it here on Yelp. read more

Ok, so I was really skeptical of all the reviews here on yelp. C'mon, 27 reviews and all of them 5 stars?!? Well, looks like I'll be the 28th 5 star review. As others have mentioned, Richard greeted me as I stepped out of my car. Great first impression as he was very cheerful. I expected my car to pass with ease, but then Richard came back within 15 minutes and said that I have a slight problem. He stated that my timing was off and that he got audited 6 months ago by inspectors and was instructed to check for timing even though certain cars state no timing check needed for smog. Go figure. Skepticism kicked in again. Richard couldn't adjust my timing because he's legally limited to just running tests without conducting repairs (totally understandable). He referred me to Emilio at Quality Tune Up across the street who said they would adjust my timing for $45. I did that and passed on the retest. Thinking about it more, I figured there's no way he's scamming me by kicking me over to Emilio for a $45 job. And especially considering he has to retest my car for free afterwards anyway. That's a waste of his time and resources. Richard is an honest guy and his attitude is top notch. Thanks Richard!! On a side note: Great fishing stories in the waiting room. I loved them. read more
